Shelly Smith
Shelly Platinum Hair Design
When I braid hair a comb is not necessary. My nails do all of the work. It is all in the hands. My creativity comes from my head and not from the book. I believe that this is a gift that I was born with. Because the things that I do with my hands, a lot of people would be like “Wow, amazing.” “How did you do that?” And I will say that it is all in the hands.
About the artist
Shelly is a girl who loves to put her mind in fashion, designing, and hard work. I am a vibrant person. I love to put a smile on people's faces. I am like the sun, always shining. I am a natural designer. I work with anything and turn it into gold. Give me a leaf in a tree and I will surprise you with what I can do with that leaf. I would love to work with the stars one day. A lot of people used to look at me like “What is that in her hair?” and now everybody is rocking it; the same style I used to have in my hair years ago. Some say that I am weird, buy I love it. That is the way God made me and I will continue my journey that way until I meet the right person to put me on the map.
